That sounds more like a thread for resources rather than associated with programming in Scratch. I'm in the process of creating a Sticky Megathread about that one now after I update the list.

Sorry, but I'll have to turn down your offer - I'm quite busy enough with my life as it is. ^^;

Maybe ask for volunteers in the 'Inspiration and More' forum?

It's an interesting topic, but it really isn't related to programming in Scratch. Additionally, the tone comes off as condescending and not positively encouraging, which is not exactly something I would like to sticky.  sad

Hi Cheddargirl,
I think you can help with my problem as:

I need help in the matter of saving my projects. I did a big job and saved, I name the file and everything that was requested. I started another project and saved the same way supposed to be, ie, with different name. When I tried to follow the two projects in the following day, the second project was saved over the first. I did everything to move the second project and I could not. Conclusion; I had to delete everything and lost all the work. But in the Scratch projects saved even after you deleted the folders are still named there. How do I delete these folders and how to save a project without them being saved on top of one another? I was clear, and I'll be anxious for an urgent response if possivel.Thanks.
Another problem is how to do a project with a sequence slide as a book?
Thanks,

Hmm, that an odd one...
For your saving problem:
It's hard to tell whether or not this is a Scratch glitch without knowing step-by-step what you did. Were you using 'Save', or 'Save As' from the drop-down menu? In cases of projects that have already been named, it is usually better to use 'Save' rather than 'Save As' because with 'Save As' you can run the risk of accidentally overwriting projects with the same name.

As for your folder problem:
I don't have any idea what could be causing that.  sad  I'll urge you to post you problem in 'Troubleshooting'; perhaps another Scratcher has the answer to your problem.

Well, approval for sticky threads have to go through the Scratch Team first. We don't want stickies to overcrowd the forums like last time.  wink
